Pop has come and gone and it was wonderful to have him here with us. We took Ava swimming for the first time in Keegans parents pool (because 1. it is not public (and i am still germ phobic) and 2. it is salt water (and i worry about chemicals)) the result was she loved it. I mean really loved it, hopefully my dad will send me the pictures he took so you can see them. My dad was quite smitten with Ava and i was sappily touched by the two of them together.
So now the visitors are finished for a month and time for us to make more of a daily routine. Today consisted of getting up and taking keegan to work, nursing and hanging out there until i felt it was safe to leave her with Keegan ( not that i do not trust him with her at all... he is amazing... but he is at work and can't really play with her a lot) so I can sneak off to the gym. Then pick her up and nurse her again before heading to the grocery store and errands. Then home and time so she can eat yet again (oh and there are diaper changes in there too). Ava played and kicked under her jungle gym while i did a few things and then it was bath time (which just like the pool she absolutely loves) and then time to finally get dressed (which is not so much her favorite thing). The late afternoon consisted of playing (lots of kicking), tummy time, nursing, pooping, and a little napping and laundry for me. Then it was 6 ish - this is when Ava some times gets a little fussy ... so we start to dance. Put on some Aretha Franklin and we move. This makes her happy again in time for Dad to come home and play with her. Dinner, nurse, nightly walk and then Keegan puts her to sleep.
So that was today..... tomorrow will be different because each day she does new things and smiles more and girgles louder.
